Description
Tatyana Fazlalizadeh is a Brooklyn-based interdisciplinary artist whose practice considers Black image making as a site of protest, contestation, affirmation, and possibility. At CAAM, Fazlalizadeh will present a series of portraits of Black Angelenos wheat-pasted across the atrium’s monumental walls. Based on photographs and conversations that took place this spring while the artist was living in Los Angeles, the portraits ask how safety is inferred, built, and felt for the city’s Black residents.

Benita Bike’s DanceArt returns to Los Angeles Mission College’s beautiful AMP Theatre on Thursday, February 29, 7:00 pm. Join members of the community, students and faculty for this unique dance event, where you’ll enjoy beautiful dancing and learn more about dance. The Theatre is located at 13356 Eldridge Ave., Sylmar, 91342, and easy parking is available in the parking structure adjacent to the campus’ circular entrance driveway. This program is FREE and is supported by the City of Los Angeles’ Department of Cultural Affairs, LA Mission College’s AGS Honor Society, and its Department of Arts, Media & Performance.

The dancers of Benita Bike’s DanceArt perform with uncommon sensitivity to one another, bringing intense beauty and vibrancy to each movement. The Company is known for presenting inspiring and engaging dance shows in community sites. Company members are skilled at introducing concert dance to those new to dance, but it also provides an enriching the experience to those who are long-time dance viewers.

Some of the featured dances on this program are a new fantasy dance using fabric to carve out the stage space and connect the characters on stage, and “For Rose,” a remembrance of the choreographer’s mother and their loving, challenging relationship.

For program information, call 818-470-5734 or see www.danceart.org.

KBLA celebrates Black History Month by spotlighting and honoring Black Media Climate Justice Champions whose work and witness, serve as a beacon of light and hope to all of us. Do you know what climate justice is? Most Americans don’t know the term, but a new survey suggests it can be a powerful organizing tool once they learn about it. These honorees are making an impact in the awareness of understanding of climate justice—informing their communities about what it is, who it affects, and what can be done about it. KBLA is pleased to showcase the work of these artists at the Black History Luncheon. Proceeds will benefit BlackCollegeSuccess.org Please email lisacassinis@gmail.com for details
